| Quote: | Raquel Welch, a longtime actress, international sex symbol and Golden Globe winner, has died, PEOPLE confirms. She was 82.
Welch "passed away peacefully early this morning after a brief illness," her manager Steve Sauer confirmed to PEOPLE on Wednesday.
Sauer added, "Her career spanned over 50 years starring in over 30 films and 50 television series and appearances. The Golden Globe winner, in more recent years, was involved in a very successful line of wigs. Raquel leaves behind her two children, son Damon Welch and her daughter Tahnee Welch. |

I remember her from 100 Rifles starring Jim Brown and Burt Reynolds. I don't think she made any A movies. Raquel was very attractive. She turned Hugh Hefner down when he asked her to pose nude for Playboy.
The 75-year-old actress and model, who shot to fame after playing the iconic bikini-clad cavegirl in ‘One Million Years B.C.’, told Piers Morgan on his Life Stories show: “I am my father’s daughter and that’s just not the way you behave. You don’t do that if you are a certain kind of a woman and that’s the kind of woman I was raised to be. RIP LADY

I've certainly seen the famous posters from "One Million Years BC" but have never seen the movie. I will remember Raquel Welch from her roles in "Fantastic Voyage" and from Richard Lester's 1973 Three and Four Musketeers movies.
I'll also never forget this performance:

Such a classic beauty and always somewhat mysterious and kind of out of the public eye.
Not to mention a La Jolla HS grad and San Diego State attendee which earns her bonus points.
RIP Raquel Welch....

Coming from me, some of you may take this with a grain of salt, but I think she was one of the most beautiful women that has ever lived. A complete and utter bombshell in her youth, she was still spectacularly beautiful even in her 40's and 50's. She also figures prominently in what is one of the most satisfying movie scenes in history in what is possibly the greatest movie in history, which is the scene from The Shawshank Redemption where the audience learns that Andy has escaped. For those who have seen the movie, of course it's the poster of Raquel Welch (which had replaced the original poster of Rita Hayworth) that is covering up Andy's tunnel through the wall.
RIP, Ms. Welch. |

I was going to post the exact same thing. The word "gorgeous" gets thrown around a lot, but she was the epitome of the word, and stunningly so.

Agreed. I'd put Sophia Loren as being on par with her, perhaps, in the looks department when she was younger. Just spectacularly beautiful, both of them. I'm about 70% Italian/Sicilian, but I'd still give the nod to Welch, if forced to choose. |
